Tumbledown - 9'

The Tumbledown is the rod that disappears in your pack but shows up when it counts. At just 3.6oz, it’s built for hikers, peak-chasers, and wanderers who know the best trout live far from pavement. Moderate action keeps it adaptable—smooth with dries, steady with nymphs, and ready for whatever surprise water you stumble across.

Named after one of Maine’s most-hiked peaks (and the trout pond waiting on top), this rod carries the colors of granite and Rhodora in bloom. An aluminum seat with a carbon fiber insert keeps it feather-light and trail-tough. Call it what it is: your license to pack less, hike more, and fish anywhere your boots take you.

About Small Batch

Lifetime Warranty

“Fished my new Tumbledown for the first time today in the White River near Eureka Springs, AR. It casts beautifully -- doesn't feel at all like a "pack rod". A friend and our guide took turns with and agree -- it's just a great 5-wt that happens to pack small. ”

FAQ

What type of line goes well with the Tumbledown fly rod?

Keep it simple with this one as you never know what those adventures may hold. Go Universal Taper 5w.

What type of reel goes well with the Tumbledown rod?

The Tumbledown demands mobility and durability. For mobility we suggest a smaller arbor when possible, any of our freshwater reels will work. For durability, we recommend machined over die cast in case your reel takes a tumble down a hard surface or excessive pressure while in transport.

Can I get an extra tip for this rod?

Yes. We now offer the option to purchase a spare tip when purchasing a new Maine Fly Co rod for that piece of mind.

Will you fix my rod if it breaks?

Of course! It’s one of the greatest things that makes us different. We build every one of our rods in our shop here, so naturally we can fix any of them too. Let’s face it, as heartbreaking as it can be, fly rods break. We offer repair for any of our rods and prioritize those orders to ensure that we get you back out there asap. Rod section prices vary, so just give us a call should anything go wrong out there, and we’ll help make you whole again.
